Preserve the Lists.

The Secretaries at all the Demo-
cratic precinct meetings on August
10Th should carefully preserve the
lists Of persons participating in
said meetings and pledging them
selves to support the nominees of
the party. These will form a basis
for Democratic clubs to be organ
lied at each precinct later, and will
he a good index of the Democratic
strength in the county. They will
also serve a good purpose by show.
ing the men who may 60 back on
the party in the canvass and sup
port Independents, provided any
should do so, and these can be
spotted and kept out of all Demo.
cratic meetings hereafter as unwor-
thy of trust.

The 3Jth annual session Of Cen,
trail Female Institute, located at
Clinton. Miss, will begin on Tues
day, Sept. 28th, 1887. 1t has an eX-
cecdingly able faculty, and taking
into consideration the quality of
its instruction and other advanta-
ges, the terms Of the Institute are
claimed to be lower than any other
institution, and as low rs it is pos
sible to make them. The town of
Clinton is noted for its healthful,
ness and good morals. 1t is situat-
ed in q dry, broken and elevated
region, distance from any river or
swamp, and is entirely free from
any local cause Of disease, and the
town has never been visited by an
epidemic. Parents having daugh.
tiers to educate will do we'll TO con-
slider the Central Institute. Atten-
ton is called to the advertisement
in this issue.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Mississippi Prohl-
bltlon Convention.

EfE q =
Resolved, frsr-rhat VIC heartily
approve the present local option law
and earnestly oppose any material
modification of its wise provisions
except To make it more stringent, by
legal enactment or constitutional
/ amendment.
Srcond-That in the irrepressihle
conflict between the saloon and its
kindred and attendant vices on the
one side, the home, church and
school on the other, we pledge To
the former our cniranchised man
| hood
! Third-The whole country is con
graduated upon the advan cement Of
prohibition and rcjoices that the
era of the American saloons is
about to close.
Fourih-Good cheer sent to
Pr Inhibition workers everywhere and
recognizes that each locality must
adopt such methods best suited 10
the circumstances.
Fifth Rraffirms the desire that
the movement he conducted on the
non partisan plan, and kept ont
OF party politics or influences.
Sixth-That while fnrbearing to
contend tor place and power in any
partisan sense, we are convinced
that it ia the duty Of every citizen
to vote for sober men tor office and
men of good eIsonal character, not
IN sympathy with or pledged to the
criminal classes, to the end that pro.
hibitory laws may he enforced and
the public service elevated.
Seventh-The question of asking
the next Legislature to submit to
the people, at the next general
election, q constitutional admcnd
mendment, prohibiting the manu-
facture or sale of Intoxicating
LIQUORS in the State was left to the
executive committee with full power
to act.
Eighth Recommends the organ
ization Of any county where prohi
btinn is not now in force.
Ninth-That We use all our efforts
to have law enacted at the next
meeting OF the Legislature prohibit
ing the sale of spurious or malt
liquors in this State.
Tenth That we consider it un-
wise aud unpatriotic to raise reven-
he for schools or any purpose out 81
an article that has filled the land
with mourning and Frustrated the
highest hopes of the country, and
that no people have the moral right
To license sin to obtain the elements
of an education.
Eleventh-Propose to memorialize
the next Legislature to pass law
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within five miles OF the Fee
male Industrial Institute and Col
legc at Columbus.
There was spirited discussion
over the ninth resolution. Messrs.
c. b. Galloway, T. ii. Somerville,
c. G.. Andrews, w. c. Black and
Henry Yandell, members of the
Committee, offered minority repor,
on this resolution, stating their
belief that the measure WAS i'm
practicable and unwise However,
the resolution was adopted by
vote Of 70 to 43, which was after
ward made unanimous.

A DENIAL Irom Gov. Lowry.

JACKSON, July 30.-The Sword
and Shield, published in this city,
TO day contains the following: "Gov
Lowry has announced to reporter
his purpose to take the stump in
vindication of himself from the
charges Of completely with the
penitentiary ring" The above
statement is without the slightest
truth or foundation.
ROBERT LOWRY.
The Sword and Shield was not
the author of the report in reference
to the Governors canvassing the
State, and did not make the an
nouncement on the authority of one
of its own reporters, but Of "a report
err" Moreover, the same state
ment was published in several other
State papers before it ever appeared
in the Sword and Shield at all, and
the editor of THE LEADER heard
the report before he ever saw it in
any paper whatever, from a prom.
inent gentleman who gave Secretary
of State Govan as his authority
The Governor jumped on the Sword
and Shield with both feet once be-
fore and got badly used up, and in
view of the facts, he is likely to meet
with the same tate this time. BE
this as it may, however, the decis
ion of the Governor not to 60 before
the people to attempt to explain
away SEINE Of the crooked parts OF
his administration is a very wise
ono.

About "Rings. 4"

Ot the Executive ItIumltbee VI
find without q wave OF doubt a
ScanIy turnout on that day which
vas tn d,tcrmine the vcNed quCs-
ton Of Convention or no ConveD-
lion. The true vinc and substance
nl the entire proceedings was not
eloquent nr Of much interest In
fact, il Was nearly all proxy,
proxy" Three legal limbs with
fractional currency Of five
ies. proxies, was the grand result
" the gigantic scheme Ia rule the
raging storm. BrOokhsven citizens
represented half, aud that halt
proxy, proxy" only three lcgals
on hand, all in town. Col. A. ".
Summers, proxizcd because he was
compelled to I've there in his own
interest for district convention.
b at 4, not represented, couldn' I
afford proxy. Hal it not been
for the generosity of b. t. H.,
Beat ;. would have been a widow.
Obcd Rollins came CALAMITY to the
front, and by scratch saved little
old rocky Beat 2. And but for the
courtesy Of Price, Summers and
Fielder, the gallant and chivalrous
Beat 3, would have been left like q
breaker ON q barren coast. And
81 your see dear friends IL was by q
scratch that the dear old party ring
has been saved.
We copy the above from a com
munication in the last Radiator
signed Memo" and that the pub
lie may see how much misrcpresen-
tation there is in il, We take the
following extract from the proceed.
ings of the meeting Of the Execu.
tive committee ut which the nomi
hating convention was ordered:
Pursuant to call OF the Chair
man of the Democratic Executive
Committee. the committee met this
this day (June lSth)the following
members being present:
Beat Ill. Cassidy, Isaac Smith,
Abram Lewenthal, proxy for j. F.
Sessions.
Beat. flames Burns, j. NJ
Parnell.
Beat "a. NJ. Summers, Robert
Cri.coe.
Beat ii. f. Carruth, S. NJ.
Holloway.
Beat 5.-Dr. J. W. Magcc, A. H..
Smith.
The committee being called to
order by the chairman, Oh motion,
it was declared that this session of
the committee be open and pub
lie.
From this it will be seen that
every beat in the county was rep.
resented at that meeting by
regular members Of the Executive
Committee. Brookhavcn had only
two representatives present in
stead Of half Of the whole mum,
Der, as Memo asserts, and they were
Judge Cassidy, chairman of the
committee, and Mr.. Lcwenthal (the
only proxy at the meeting) respre-
scnting Maj. Sessions.
In conclusion we will say for the
benefit of those who do not know it,
that Memo is Mr.. J. A S. Iender-
son, otherwise Omega" the man
who charged that the "a voters at
East's Mill who endorsed Joe
Sessions for the Legislature last
April was & "bob-iailed ring" and
their action 81 farce" and who got
go terribly set down npon afterward
by the good people Of that section
for his misstatements in reference
there to.
According to our observation,
if there is any sort of ring in
this county at all, it has its head
quarters in the offices of the Sheriff
and Radiator, and Mr.. Henderson
is the chief bugler for the concern,
who isn't at all particular about the
of his statements in
reference to the men and measures
he undertakes to criticise.
